Question

active or passive voice
active voice -

• the subject is the doer of the action

passive voice -

• the action is being done to the subject

ask yourself:

• who is the sentence about?
• where is the verb in the sentence?
• did the subject do or receive the action?

which of the following is written in passive voice?
the town showers them in praise.
the city council approved the parade.
they are treated like kings by those around them.

Explanation:

To determine passive voice, we check if the subject receives the action.

• For "The town showers them in praise", the subject "the town" does the action (active).
• For "The city council approved the parade", the subject "the city council" does the action (active).
• For "They are treated like kings by those around them", the subject "they" receives the action of being treated (passive, as the action is done to them).

Answer:

They are treated like kings by those around them.
